Who Should I Start? Ka'imi Fairbairn or Spencer Shrader

Sunday, September 14, 7:26 AM

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn made all three of his field goal attempts in Week 1, including a pair of long chances from over 50 yards. He accounted for all the Texans' scoring in their 14-9 loss to the Rams as the offense sputtered. If the offense continues to struggle to score touchdowns, Fairbairn could continue to get plenty of field goal chances, and on Monday night, he'll play at home in Houston's NRG Stadium, where the retractable roof usually leads to a friendly kicking environment. Fairbairn is the No. 6 kicker in the RotoBaller rankings, making him a solid starting option in most standard-sized leagues this week.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Spencer Shrader will host the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Shrader had a big Week 1, hitting all four of his field-goal attempts and adding three extra points in a 33-8 win over the Miami Dolphins. The Colts might have a tougher time moving the ball on offense in Week 2 as the Broncos possess one of the top defenses in the league. Shrader is worth monitoring in fantasy thanks to his strong Week 1, but he should not be in fantasy lineups heading into Week 2 due to the imposing matchup.
